Split Type Aircon: Which is best?

[dr. d]

And mga assuming mga naayos ni Trava wala ng naging issue so walang problema pala talaga split type a/c

the nature of the split type, IS the problem. it comes in two assemblies, with prima donna tubings in between.
travs is just trying to fix problems arising therein.
jut is lucky. his splits are behaving well.
heh heh.

cant ignore the facts

Parang sinasabi niyo mag-Vios nalang lahat ng tao kasi pag high end na kotse na maraming features mas maraming pwedeng masira.

Well ako ok lang yung tradeoff na yun basta ayoko ng panget at maingay. [emoji23]

I'd go for the most advanced unit. Be eagle eyed on the copper installation. drain pipe and wiring.

Was planning on having holes for window type a/c punched through the walls prior to the turnover of our house but, alas, we lacked the funds to purchase a/c units then (actually, ngayon na 5 months after wala pa ring funds) para makuha yung dapat na sukat. Now, split na lang ang pipiliin ko talaga dahil laking hassle na kung magpapabutas pa nang malaki sa pader.

Pag split-type ba butas lang ba para sa tubes ang gagawin? Papano wirings? May wall sockets na kasi sa walls for a/c. Magagamit ba yun?

So to summarize:

Window type:
Pros: Simple to install and maintain
Cons: Panget itsura, maingay, limited inverter choices

Split type:
Pros: Looks clean and unobtrusive, higher EER vs window (even inverter window), quieter
Cons: Maselan maintenance and kailangan maingat installation

Between the two, yung cons ng split type pwedeng mamitigate if you install properly a d get a reputable brand. Travs already shared very helpful advice on how to mitigate the cons of a split type (thanks a lot bro!). Yung cons ng window type yun na talaga yun wala ka na magagawa.

To each his own, but after weighing all the factors, split type preference ko.

Some splits require the power source outside by the condensing unit, some by the interior unit. Consult your supplier/tech on the chosen brand/model's requirement. It's ideal to install on perimeter walls (as you would a window) & try not to embed lines. The drawback? It's not gonna be pretty outside as it will be inside. The shorter the line route, the more efficient.
On conrete wall boring for Window units, it's a simple cut & chip. An hour or 2's work. To prevent wall repainting, precision measurements, alignment & edge cutting are needed inside & out. It's possible to chip thru a clean rectangle. The vertical dimension of the hole should be about 15mm over the Window AC's vertical side measurement to allow for sloped install.

So to summarize:

Pros: Simple to install and maintain
Cons: Panget itsura, maingay, limited inverter choices

nagpabutas kami dati ng aircon rectangulo. no problem. no issues. no regrets.
...as long as there is no compromise in structural strength.

years later, we replaced the old aircon with a smaller, newer one. we could have spent more, but... pinasakan na lang namin ng kahoy yung butas, at pina-beautify yung paligid.

Privileged & blessed to have a handful of physician friends. 1 common thing I've observed....Most, if not all, are practical thinkers who study options keenly. Bow & salute![emoji120]

it's part of the professional way of thinking, what with having to deal with all sorts of patients' pocketbooks.
also, it's dad's way... "mahal yan! heto na lang.. mas mura na, mas matibay pa. huwag nyo lang i-sali sa beauty contest".
(yes, that's where i got one of my favorite quotes.)
but thank you.

hah!
pockets, wallets, billfolds, and purtamonedas pala.
mine error.

yes. my dad would rather build it from scratch, than to buy the commercially available item. mas matibay pah.
examples: extension cord and trouble light. silya't mesa. dedicated outlet for aircon, with circuit breaker. outside weather-resistant lighting system. much of what he made, are still very much alive today, 15 years after he passed away.
but it came at a price. hell, high water, lunch, dinner, sleep. he would forgo, until the job was done.

Hahaha...those. Coincidentally familiar. He must be up there smiling being remembered, doc.[emoji120]
Mine, a mech engr, his world was driven by constant lil projects til health slowed him. One day, took home an IH Scout shell from the salvage yard. No doors, no glass, no engine nor suspension. Asked his bud's Firebird doors, got a 4D56 surplus engine & some more junk....Frankenstein'd it into a worthy rare running, rigid axled bulletproof Scout complete w/ AC & radio that served the family a long while.[emoji4]
Ooops, now we're way OT. Apologies.
